216 Only God Can Stop the Storm

216.

Only God Can Stop the Storm



I set aboard across the sea

One morning high to hunt some food

But soon the sky became cloudy

Earlier thought the weather's good



Then hard zephyr passed over me

While at the middle waters deep

Descend the sail so hastily

Must shore return – row, row, row keep



But miles away the land to see

Flashed lightning, roared thunder, poured rain

On my small boat so heavily

Returning safe seems to be vain



Alongwith me my family

Father, mother and lone sister

We cried for help from somebody

But we alone who are in there



So I invoke the Almighty

To stop the storm once and for all

Great, kind and merciful is Thee

To heed my most desparate call.
